We had a lot of fun chopping it up while watching the VMAs with friends and want to say thanks to everyone who came by to point and laugh with us. What we all realized was that MTV’s steadily lost a bit of umph over the years, which we knew, but actually watching it brings these sad facts to life.

While traveling the Interwebs, I stumbled across “20 Ways MTV Used To Own Summer” and remembered how Music Television used to provide a stellar mix of music from across genres plus they still gave air time to really bad behavior and a lot of obnoxious personalities, much like they do now.

The difference between then and now is then there were less people willing to lose all decency for their 15 minutes of fame so it seemed more unique and engaging. And those people’s 15 minutes didn’t drag across multiple, unwanted seasons either. They lasted as long as fans wanted them, then the cord got cut.

To put all things in perspective, MTV once MTV Rock N’ Jock sports, two Julie Browns and Daisy Fuentes, who by herself heavily shifts the odds in the retro version’s favor.

(Clearly this is a slow work day for me)
Aeon Flux and Kurt Loder were the shit! I really miss those days of watching what I could not touch through the tv screen. The rock and jock games were golden too.
Side Note: I ‘m feeling the lay out on the right side of the website

On a deeper thought, maybe the degradation of MTV’s show selection is an introspective reflection of American society and the paradigm shift of us as viewers?
I’m sure they had to poll a selection of the population and these lame ass shows on currently made the mark (atleast I hope so, because if they just decided to air this shit on their own, god help them).

Im sure young people today will look back at todays MTV and jersey shores with the same amount of nostalgia as we are to our MTV. People tend to remember their youth in a good light, not realizing how wack somethings really were.

At least I got to wake up in the morning and hear some good music like Big Pimpin’ playin and seeing the biggest pair of breasts I’ve ever seen on TV at that age lol. And reality television wasn’t overblown like it was back then. Lastly, I’m sure people still watch Jersey Shore and acknowledge its wackness.
